Transcript

00:00I think this is such a powerful movie, Megan. It really puts people in our shoes, I think.

00:07And Margot Robbie does a great job as being the victim.

00:10Megan Kelly has delivered on her promise to fully digest Bombshell,

00:14the film about the women who exposed sexual harassment at Fox News under former chief Roger Ailes.

00:19The former Fox News and NBC anchor posted a revealing sit-down with other accusers

00:23that details what the movie got right and wrong.

00:26But I need to know that you're loyal. I need you.

00:30To find a way to prove it.

00:31Kelly is played by Charlize Theron in the film, but had no involvement with the movie.

00:35She sat down with her husband, Douglas Brunt, Juliette Huddy, Rudy Bakhtiar, and Julie Zahn,

00:40all who are either portrayed in the movie or have a close connection to it.

00:44The women agreed that the film accurately captured the experience of being sexually harassed.

00:48I think they did a good job trying to give a realistic portrayal of what it's like.

00:53The four women also agreed that the elevator scene where Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman,

00:57and Margot Robbie's characters share an elevator on the way to Ailes' floor in the building,

01:01made them incredibly emotional.

01:03When she got that call and went in the elevator, you're just like,

01:07I lost it because, you know, you immediately go to what happened to you.

01:13They went on to reveal that a powerful scene where Ailes asks Robbie's character to do a twirl for him

01:18to show off her body was an accurate portrayal of his behavior by John Lithgow, who plays him in the film.

01:24So I was asked to do the spin.

01:26Yeah.

01:27And God help me, I did it.

01:29If you don't get how demeaning that is, I can't help you.

01:32As for what the movie got wrong, Kelly said, quote,

01:35In the film, the spokeswoman tells Ailes,

01:43Roger, I can't discredit an anchor I'm paid to promote.

01:46But Kelly says that was the number one thing the movie didn't get right.

01:49Irina 100% would hit talent and did many times.

01:53She was like the queen of hitting talent.

01:55Of course.

01:55Anything bad you read about Fox News people, it's probably by her.

01:59A spokesperson for Fox News vehemently denies this.

02:02Kelly also claims she never ran her famous 2015 debate questions for then-Republican candidate Donald Trump

02:07by Fox owners the Murdochs or Ailes.

02:10And that the notion that Ailes liked the question she asked Trump about calling women he didn't like,

02:14quote, fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals was not true.

02:18Roger did not like the question at all and was very angry at me for asking it

02:24and at one point actually said to me, no more female empowerment stuff.

02:27I could totally hear him saying it.

02:29To watch the full sit-down and for much more on this story,

02:32go to THR.com.

02:33Until next time, for The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
